I have heard that for the last 8 years. I've always thought that President Bush's experience in business (oil, etc) had given him the experience and intelligence to deal with the economics of our country. So, he's made some $$ in the oil business. I'm impressed by that.
I've never considered any of his deeds in office to be purely selfish enough to say he was "...in the pocket of big oil..." - What the hell does that mean?
